"I made/bought the Sunny Bunny to draw your eye to my entrant number. I thought id try my luck and make an effort to win something at the show. The Sunny Kun and Pointing-Hand was a silly little touch to remember my car for.     Thanks for the compliments..."

"I think it is an excellent mod.   Sometimes the small things turn out to be more important than you think.   Made a small steel bracket to better mount two throttle return springs on my Weber today.   It's nothing major, but an improvement is an..."

"Thanks D.   I'm jealous of mini freaks.   I'd love to own a mini.   I made a custom backing plate to adapt an L Series SU airbox onto my DCOE Weber. .    Still want my SU carbs on there. But this is a great temporary mod to keep me happy with things.  ..."

"I'm not overly bothered if I see one in grey now. My engine is painted blue close enough to A-Series colours.   The main thing which stands out to me as being overly blue is my water pump pulley.   When I go A14 it's gone anyway as I'm using a Davis Craig..."

"Wow, what a journey to get it running.   Good thing 1000's are worth the effort.   You have made me envious of the GX carbs on your A-Series, Dundee.   And congrats on the award."

"Today I learned.   Thanks for the info Dundee.   Just had a look through a parts catalogue, it seems it is part of the door card on the coupe. Ive never noticed this detail on coupes before.   I feel very silly to have never noticed this."

"I have made myself a new fuel pump block off plate.   The general look I was going for is something that could pass as an old school racer part such as Nismo,HKS,Tomei etc.   Its not much, but I do like that I can add this as another subtle detail on my..."
